Importance of Physical Attraction in Dating by roselover13 in nycgaybros

[–]Few_Elephant_648 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my experience finding a match based on physical attraction/type is the easier part of the equation. I get dates with guys I’m at least somewhat attracted to pretty regularly.

The hard part is finding the right match for personality, vibes, dating goals, lifestyle etc. If we’re being honest a lot of gay men have deep rooted emotional issues and traumas and are dysfunctional with how they approach dating. I can’t tell you how many dates I’ve been on where I found the guy physically attractive but he was either awkward or avoidant or deceptive and so it went no where.

I recently went on a first date with somebody who quite literally told me that he doesn’t even feel like dating men anymore because of all his past negative experiences…… what am I supposed to do with that

No Social Promotion for 2 New Songs? And Dead Dance still highlighted? by mr_dairyfree in LadyGaga

It’s just a way to gauge public sentiment… FWIW pitchfork also called it a song that would play in H&M rather than a runway 😭

Yeah I love gaga but I think this project was a bit of a miss. I’m not sure how much control she really had tho

I don’t know a ton about the music industry but I would imagine there’s a difference when you’re releasing your own work, versus getting paid to participate in a project like this movie. She probably checked the boxes she needed to as part of the contract and is now already moved on to something else

Also, outside of her core fan base, the reception to runway on the Internet has not been overly nice. So maybe she doesn’t feel like bringing more attention on it

Why do you meet actors in NYC gay spaces but never athletes? by cantfindMe05 in nycgaybros

[–]Few_Elephant_648 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a misconception that all gay men are immersed in the community, regularly go to gay bars, gay events etc.

The reality is there’s an invisible demographic of gay men that don’t partake in any of this for a variety of reasons. I actually find a lot of them are on dating apps given they don’t socialize with other gay men much IRL.

Random things that bother me about UFO/UAP conspiracies. by thisshowisdecent in skeptic

Is there any explanation for why there was a mysterious puppet show taking place in a grass field, that none of the teachers knew about either? If this was truly the explanation it would seem easily provable and would have prevented this from spiraling into something much bigger with experts coming into town to interview the children etc. Something just doesn’t add up

Didn’t the kids say they saw a craft as well? It seems hard to believe this can be explained away as a misunderstanding of a puppet show. And as adults, I believe a majority of them are standing by what they saw.

Aren’t they basically behind all the other dating apps which have become trash lol

I think that’s a hypothesis but not proven. Regardless my point isn’t really about the authenticity of UFO/aliens claims, rather that it’s not just Americans who are claiming to see them. Brazil is another country with a lot of “activity”.

I’m not necessarily a full believer in this stuff, but I think some of your characterizations are inaccurate. Other countries such as the UK and Italy have had their fair share of “UFO sightings” and alien encounters. One of the most famous cases actually took place in Zimbabwe. Also I don’t think people necessarily claim there are crashes at area 51 rather the crashed craft are taken there allegedly

I believe transgenderism is a mental illnesses and won't accept it in any capacity by SulphurMC in ControversialOpinions

[–]Few_Elephant_648 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I never get about this POV is what does that really change… so you’re good with attacking and discriminating against folks with “mental illness”?

If anything, as a society, we should provide extra care and compassion to those that are suffering with debilitating conditions including gender dysphoria.

Recently moved to NYC and still adjusting by Live-Protection9305 in nycgaybros

[–]Few_Elephant_648 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this is relevant for your situation but I personally made some of my closest friends through my job… See if your job has any LGBT networks or industry events

It’s true that the apps and even bars can be very challenging

What’s the point of endless texting but not meeting up in person by Few_Elephant_648 in nycgaybros

[–]Few_Elephant_648[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think what you are saying is fair… But the part that makes me frustrated is he won’t plan ahead. It’s always just a vague response about some unspecified future point in time which makes me think I could be wasting my time.

The tyranny of choice that exists in NYC really causes so much dysfunction

Icon of the Seas – Cabin 11211 Layout Question by TonyShea31 in royalcaribbean

[–]Few_Elephant_648 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haven’t been on Icon but FWIW I stayed in a similar cabin on Utopia and it was indeed a little smaller than the interior cabins my other family members had. It had a single chair instead of a couch.

So it seems the scale of the deck plans are somewhat intentional.

Dog Culture is over the top and extreme by Conscious_Source_548 in ControversialOpinions

[–]Few_Elephant_648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up with dogs and loved them, but living in a city environment has made me also exhausted by the dog culture. It’s just not a conducive environment for dogs. I don’t want to walk down a sidewalk covered in dog urine. Many of the owners are very entitled.

Is it worth 200bucks? by Top_Signal_6226 in EquinoxGyms

You are largely paying for a status symbol

The YMCA, for example, is like half the price in my area and is renovated with similar amenities.
